It didn't occur to me the first time I looked at this, but I once met someone who was bipolar and went off his meds and decided to smoke some pot because it was his birthday. I was interning with a police department and the apartment complex security called the PD up to handle it (rightly so, in my opinion). He was extremely mellow and I doubt he was a threat, but when the officers asked him the date and his address, he couldn't answer. Inability to answer those questions would scare the hell out of me. We ended up taking him to the hospital as a precaution; I suspect his wife who came home in the middle of all the excitement probably read him the riot act later...

Red Shirt Blues:The first time I made canna butter I put in waaaaaay too much weed. I made cookies and was snacking on the dough while baking. I has two fresh out of the oven. Things got very intense for awhile.

Reminds me of the time some...uh...friends of a friend made brownies. This friend got to their house and started chowing down on the crispy crusts cut from the brownies, having no idea that these weren't JUST brownies...

Yeah, but could you pry your ass off of the couch and jump out a window?

The number 1 killer in the US is obeisity caused heart disease, and diabeetus complications is in like the top 10, and marijuana gives you the munchies, so how many countless millions of Americans have been killed by the munchies?

Ego edo infantia cattus:Dafatone: So uh... what cause did the cops have to enter? You mean if I call up cops and tell them that my neighbor is getting high, they'll bust in?

Yep. Then they just say the smelled it in the hallway when they went to check out the complaint.

You may not be aware of this but the smell is really farking strong so yeah they probably did and if it's not legal in your state then yeah, the law says they should be arresting someone for possession.

Either way, you shouldn't be smoking anywhere in an apartment complex. Even if it's perfectly legal, it's a way stronger smell than cigarette smoke.

I'm not sure, but three weeks ago my neighbors called the cops on us, saying that they heard arguing and then a female yell "Don't get the gun!"

When they pounded on my door, I opened it a crack to find 6 barrels of guns in my face. I got pulled outside and they let themselves in while they were yelling "DID YOU CALL THE POLICE?! WHO ELSE IS IN THE HOUSE?!" and generally police-stating my ass.

He was mellow? The first thing everyone involved should have done was mind their own damned business.he was mellow. Not harming anyone.

why the need to hassle the man?

there isnt one. If he wasnt a danger to himself or others.everyone else should have farked off and let him be

Sure, but that's if they smell it. Or claim to smell it. It's a short article, so maybe they just left it out. But the article kinda makes it sound like the cops just went, "well, someone said there was pot here, so we're going in."

Excellent call, because someone who is "mellow" and cannot remember the date of where they live could not possibly be having a real medical problem like a stroke!

Recently, someone did a study and found that potheads -- defined as people who smoke TEN or more joints a day, which is just farking crazy -- are the same weight as the general population. So we can more or less rule that out. ;D

mjbok:For all of the deaths that attributed to smoking and alcohol that really are not because of them, this seems fair.

What deaths are attributed to smoking that are directly caused by smoking? Granted, some deaths attributed to alcohol are really caused by drinking alcohol and THEN doing ____, but smoking? I'm having trouble coming up with a realistic example.

I don't think it seems unreasonable to suggest that not every case of cancer in smokers was actually caused by smoking. It's probably wrong in the case of specific studies that likely already account for it, but it sure doesn't seem unreasonable.

I've no doubt pot will be legal in all 50 in my lifetime and that doesn't t bother me especially when we start taxing the shiat out of it, which we will.That said, people die from pot all the time, we just call it accidental deaths. 20 years back in high school I was at a party and we were all high. One very normal kid got it in his head to jump out a window, lands wrong breaks his neck and dies a few days later. Accident,.Another friend normally a very conscientious driver, had been smoking all day, got hungry, went to get food and tried to beat a train at a crossing. Didn't make it. Accident.Those were just two I personally knew. My mom used to tell me a story about when she was young in the late '60's. On a roadtrip, her and a group had been driving and smoking and one guy gets them to stop on a stretch near a farm. He wanted to see a bull up close. Gored and repeatedly trampled. Accident.People do stupid things when they are high and consistent users consistently do stupid things.

There is only one way to prevent this senseless loss of life in the future. We must rally Congress to ban law enforcement officers. Only when our streets are purged of this wicked plague can we truly be safe.
